MBNMS Office Report 4/18/13-8/15/13 Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Sanctuary Office Report Volume 10, Number 3 A REPORT FOR THE SANCTUARY ADVISORY COUNCIL MEMBERS REPORTING PERIOD: APRIL 18 – AUGUST 15, 2013 NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ABOUT THE SANCTUARY ADMINISTRATION (NOAA) AND OFFICE OF NATIONAL Designated in 1992, Monterey Bay MARINE SANCTUARIES (ONMS) NEWS National Marine Sanctuary (MBNMS or Sanctuary) is a federally protected marine Shipwreck of Coast Survey steamship Robert J Walker Identified area offshore of California’s central coast. The Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS) Maritime Heritage Program, in Stretching from Marin to Cambria, cooperation with the Office of Coast Survey and the NOAA Central Library MBNMS encompasses a shoreline of 276 conducted a sonar and dive reconnaissance of an historic shipwreck off Absecon Inlet miles and 6,094 square statute miles of (Atlantic City) New Jersey from June 21 to June 23. After a thorough evaluation, the ocean. wreck was clearly identified as the Coast Survey steamship Robert J. Walker, lost with 20 hands on June 21, 1860 when it was rammed by the schooner Fanny 12 miles off Absecon Inlet. The disaster remains the greatest loss of life for NOAA through a Supporting one of the world’s most diverse predecessor agency. The partnership with Coast Survey to commemorate the loss of marine ecosystems, it is home to numerous Walker on its 153 anniversary brought together the ships Thomas Jefferson (OCS) mammals, seabirds, fishes, invertebrates and SRVX (ONMS) for a comprehensive multibeam and side scan sonar survey and plants in a remarkably productive followed by dives to the wreck in 85 feet of water. The wreck possesses a high coastal environment. MBNMS was degree of historical and archaeological significance and is likely eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. It is also a sovereign wreck of the United established for the purpose of resource States and remains the property of the government and specifically NOAA. ONMS is protection, research, education and public working with OCS on a communications strategy of community engagement in use of this national treasure. interpretation of the wreck, and supporting public access through enhancing the dive experience with historical context, a wreck-dive orientation "dive slate", and a programmatic agreement with various stakeholders in the ongoing preservation of the site. A media announcement of the identification will be forthcoming along with images of the wreck and a historic portrait of the steamer from the collections of ONMS' partner, The Mariners' Museum of Newport News, Virginia. Ocean for Life: Students from Middle East and U.S. Immerse in Field Studies in National Marine Sanctuaries Thirty high school students from Middle Eastern countries and the United States are participating in Ocean for Life, an initiative that unifies cultures connected by the global ocean, from June 22-July 4. NOAA's Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary in California will host the students during their field study. Ocean for Life increases cultural understanding through ocean science by providing high quality, immersive ocean field studies and subsequent education programs to students of diverse cultures and backgrounds to promote ocean conservation and cultural understanding. Ocean for Life is a unique program that brings together Middle Eastern and U.S. high school students of diverse cultures and backgrounds to study marine science, and in the course of that, break down stereotypes and strengthen our global relationships. The premise is simple but powerful: we are all connected by the ocean, and by studying the ocean, we can learn about improving stewardship of the planet and ourselves: one world, one ocean. Ocean for Life is made possible by a partnership of U.S. government agencies and private entities. Partners include the NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, The GLOBE (Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment) Program and the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation. The lead sponsor for the 2013 Ocean for Life field study to Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary is Qatar Foundation International (QFI). NOAA Seeks Public Comments on New Sanctuary Nomination Process The proposed rule to re-establish the sanctuary nomination process was published in the Federal Register on June 28 (78 FR 38848). The proposal would replace the currently inactive Sanctuary Evaluation List (SEL) with a new process for local communities and other interested parties to provide NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries with robust, criteria-driven proposals for new sanctuaries. NOAA is soliciting public comment on the proposed rule and amendments to its regulations, with comments due by Aug. 27. Once the public comment period has closed and NOAA has reviewed the comments, the agency may solicit nominations for new areas of America’s ocean and Great Lakes waters that satisfy the criteria for possible designation as a national marine sanctuary. Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Volume 10 No. 3 Sanctuary Advisory Council Sanctuary Office Report REPORTING PERIOD: APRIL 18 – AUGUST 15 2013 National Marine Sanctuary News Chanel Islands NMS Three successful flights of a Puma Unmanned Aerial System were launched and recovered from the R/V Shearwater as part ofCoastal Trident 2013 from June 18-20 in southern California. The Center for Asymmetric Warfare conducted the Coastal Trident 2013 Regional Maritime Security and Response Exercise, which featured participation by over 100 agencies, departments, and organizations, including NOAA. The exercise focused on the threat of mines and underwater improvised explosive devices to port and maritime safety, and included the evaluation of a number of Unmanned Aerial Systems in the detection and characterization of maritime threats and the protection of commercial shipping. All three Puma flights were launched from the Shearwater's upper deck and were recovered in the water directly by the Shearwater without the use of a skiff. The Army Puma system that is in NOAA custody was used for the operations. It was thoroughly inspected and tested before and after the operations, and was deemed to be complete and in perfect working order when it was packed and returned to storage. All Puma flights were conducted in and controlled by the Navy’s Point Mugu Sea Range. There were no incidents or anomalies. Flower Garden Banks NMS G.P. Schmahl attended a public meeting of the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council in Galveston on June 10th. The purpose of the meeting was to obtain input on the "Draft Initial Comprehensive Plan for Restoring the Gulf Coast's Ecosystem and Economy", as required under the RESTORE Act. The RESTORE Act provides for civil penalties received for violations of the Clean Water Act resulting from the Deepwater Horizon blowout to be used for restoration and enhancement of marine and coastal environments of the Gulf of Mexico. Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale NMS Sanctuary Science Specialist, Jonathan Martinez, has been collaborating on a research cruise aboard the NOAA ship Oscar Elton Sette with the NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center to advance objectives of the NOAA Kona Integrated Ecosystem Assessment (IEA). The Kona IEA overlaps with the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary. Cob trawl surveys at mesopelagic depths between 15-200 m have revealed many unique species, such as the dragon fish shown below. One of the most remarkable observations is the diversity of coral reef fish larvae found in the mesopelagic depths offshore and broadens the discussion for inter-island larval transport. Studies such as these advance the understanding of how different sanctuary units are interconnected. NMS of American Samoa As part of the Hollings project assessing nearshore climate impacts, Sarah Seabrook and Wendy Cover have done nearshore benthic surveys in Fagatele Bay, Fagasa, and Faga'alu over the last few weeks. Surveys will be applied to projections of change in coral composition with climate change. They also retrieved and re-deployed small reef-attached temperature loggers that monitor conditions at two depths in shallow reef areas of the Sanctuary, part of a climate monitoring project. While in the field, they contributed to a multi- agency effort to assess and remove benthic cyanobacteria in Faga'alu. Thunder Bay NMS On June 1, 2013 Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary’s visitor center opened Journey Stories, a traveling exhibit from the Smithsonian that examines the ways transportation and increased mobility has shaped American History. The exhibit complements the visitor center’s permanent exhibit on Great Lakes maritime transportation: the Shipwreck Century. Over 40 sanctuary volunteers signed up to be docents in the Smithsonian traveling exhibit. When Journey Stories leaves Alpena at the end of July the 40 sanctuary volunteers will have provided over 320 hours of service as docent “Guides” in the exhibit. Along with the volunteers, sanctuary staff are working with two local high school students to collect oral histories within the community of Alpena, Michigan. The students will interview members of the community on their stories of living in a small town and their personal family journeys. These interviews will be compiled in a digital database archived at the Smithsonian with stories from sites across the country. Working with the Michigan Humanities Council, the interviews will also be archived on a dedicated website featuring just stories recorded in Alpena, a collaborative effort between sanctuary volunteers and other local arts and culture organizations, the University of Michigan, and the Humanities Council. Olympic Coast NMS Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary (OCNMS) partner, Dr. Julia Parrish, Executive Director of the citizen science COASST program will receive the Champion of Change award for excellence in citizen science. The Champions of Change program, sponsored by the President’s Office of Science and Technology Policy, highlights transformative people and programs across the country. This month they are focusing on citizen science, and COASST has come to light as an exemplary program.

Zinser SUBJECT: Final Inspection Report: National Marine Sanctuary Program Protects Certain Resources, But Further Actions Could Increase Protection (IPE-1859 1) As follow-up to our December 5,2007, draft report, we are pleased to provide you with our final report on our review of the National Marine Sanctuary Program (NMSP). We have considered your detailed comments in preparing our final report and have attached them to our draft report as an appendix. We are pleased to report that we found the sanctuary program has implemented a number of management improvements and is generally making progress towards long-term protection of certain resources within the marine sanctuaries system. However, we also found several areas that require management attention. For example, the enforcement of sanctuary regulations remains a challenge. We identified certain areas where enforcement could be improved, in conjunction with NOAA's Office of Law Enforcement and its Office of General Counsel for Enforcement and Litigation. Additionally, we found that sanctuary management plan reviews have not been completed in accordance with the 5-year statutory requirement and that several sanctuary sites have not been able to secure out-year maintenance and operational funding for some vessels, buoys, and visitor facilities.

  • Under Water: a Novel with Critical Introduction
    UNDER WATER: A NOVEL WITH CRITICAL INTRODUCTION A Dissertation by AMBER N. FOSTER Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, M. Jimmie Killingsworth Committee Members, Janet McCann Lucia Hodgson Sarah Gatson Head of Department, Nancy Warren August 2015 Major Subject: English Copyright 2015 Amber N. Foster ABSTRACT Under Water is a literary novel that follows the life experiences of Jess, a solo female scuba diving instructor living and working on Roatan, an island off the coast of Honduras. She learns of the death of her father on the same day she is responsible for the death of a diver under her care. She leaves the island shortly thereafter, only to return five years later at the disappearance of George, a friend and father figure. In the Encyclopedia of Utopian Literature, Mary Ellen Snodgrass defines utopia as a search for a "good place," or "a longing that haunts the unconscious . [a] desire for respite, a stopping place." Similarly, Jess' search for a "good place" structures her quest make a home for herself in Honduras even after experiences of trauma and loss. The critical introduction to the novel includes two research articles in the field of nineteenth-century women's travel narratives and transnational utopian fiction. The first, "Nation as Utopia in Pauline Hopkins' novel Of One Blood; Or, The Hidden Self and The Colored American Magazine," takes an intratextual approach to Hopkins' serial utopian novel in order to resituate African American serial texts within a larger network of national utopian thought.
